Client Bio
A leading non-banking financial company (NBFC) providing diversified financial services including loans, insurance, and asset management runs mission-critical production workloads on AWS infrastructure and requires stringent RTO/RPO adherence for regulatory compliance.
Situation
The NBFC used AWS-native DR tools that lacked orchestration and automation, resulting in manual failback steps and unpredictable recoveries - this increased operational risk and extended RTOs to over four hours, posing compliance and business continuity challenges.
Impact
Manual processes led to inconsistent recovery times, frequent human errors, and extended downtime during drills and incidents. The lack of predictability also inflated costs through wasted resources and delayed recovery execution.
Solution
Datamotive implemented an AWS?AWS disaster recovery solution integrated with full orchestration and incremental failback. All manual configurations were automated - including post-recovery workflows - removing human error and reducing RTO from 4+ hours to under 40 minutes. By transferring only changed data, Datamotive reduced egress costs by 70%, ensuring predictable, compliant, and cost-optimized recoveries across all workloads.
